Engenheira de pesquisa senior do Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). Possui um PhD em Geografia e Prática do Desenvolvimento pela Université Paris X (2006). Tem experiência na área de geociências com ênfase em sensoriamento remoto atuando principalmente nos seguintes temas: geoprocessamento, meio ambiente, saúde, variabilidade climática, análise espacial e indicadores. Atualmente é responsável pela equipe "Observation Spatial de l'Environnement" da UMR ESPACE-DEV e coordena diversos projetos na área de sensoriamento remoto e saúde. | Research engineer processing analysis and representation of spatial information at Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). Her research focuses on the use of remote sensing data for development of spatial methods in the context of deforestation and health; image processing (classification, texture and oriented-objet approach; spatial analysis of impacts at local and regional scales; mapping and understanding the spatial-temporal heterogeneity of the different indicators and determinants of the risk (local, regional, country-wide); teaching, geographic information systems applied to health issues. She is the coordinator of French Brazilian project TéléPal which takes place in French Guyana and Brazil transbordary (funded by CNES). Within ESPACE-DEV, she is in charge of the OSE Team (Spatial Observation of Environment).
